Description:

This artwork belongs to the series Suspended Horizons, in the Evanescences branch, where painting manifests as a subtle trace, suspension and memory in dissolution.

The surface is built through light glazes and transparent stratifications, obtained with acrylics worked like watercolors, allowing the breath of the canvas to emerge. The palette centers around deep grays, diluted blacks and neutral tones, pierced by spaces of light and silence.

Pencil marks emerge as intimate and imperfect signs, while small interventions in gold leaf discretely insert themselves, as focal points that interrupt the continuity of time.

The landscape dissolves and recomposes, evoking a fragile and suspended dimension, in which the visible intertwines with what remains.

Veiled Memory is a place of passage: it does not describe, it suggests. It does not cling, but allows to surface.

Unique work.

Colors may vary slightly depending on the screen.

Project Statement
Concept Series – Suspended Horizons

This work belongs to my artistic journey dedicated to Suspended Horizons, a research born from the meeting of water and intuition. In these canvases, fluid matter gives shape to inner landscapes: imagined visions that do not represent real places, but states of mind, perceptual thresholds, and fragments of ephemeral beauty.

The surface develops through light stratifications, transparencies and rarefied fields, evoking silence, waiting and the breath of a suspended time. In some works essential marks emerge — stylized blooms, floating petals, reflected trees — symbolic presences that amplify the meditative and dreamlike dimension without imposing a defined narrative.

The series is configured as a process in becoming, open to gestural and formal variations, faithful to a poetics of the unsaid and the threshold. Within this research three expressive modes take shape, which do not constitute closed categories but movements of the same inquiry.

- Evanescences -

In “Evanescences” matter dissolves and recedes. The image appears as a distant memory, a barely grasped vision, where the landscape becomes rarefied, unstable, suspended between presence and disappearance.

- Presences -

In “Presences” the painting thickens and takes shape. The matter emerges with greater intensity, while maintaining a dreamlike quality, like a form that reveals itself without ever fully defining itself.

- Apparitions -

In “Apparitions” light emerges from dark depths. Space becomes more compact, and the horizon becomes a distant threshold, a direction toward which the gaze tends, guided by a luminous presence that manifests and evades at the same time.

Artist Statement

My work explores the fluid nature of water and its capacity to generate forms, movement and light.

Through the use of watercolors, acrylics, inks and glazes, I translate this energy into abstract visions that bring silence, mystery and introspection.

I paint interior landscapes: suspended horizons, reflections, blooms. Images that do not represent real places, but perceptual states hovering between appearance and dissolution.

I let the water guide the process, embracing imperfections and fleeting traces as an essential part of the work.

My research moves between lightness and matter, keeping an openness to interpretation.

Each work is an invitation to slow down and breathe with the eyes.
